I am a mixed-media painter based in New England.
My work bears witness to the physical effects, historical causes, and emotional impact of ecological decline through combinations of scientific data and text with figurative, symbolic, and archival imagery.
Environmental issues are central to my practice and each body of work is grounded in research. Handwritten fragments of data and graphics from contemporary scientific publications serve as both evidence and warning, reflecting how data-driven information is widespread yet difficult to fully absorb. Archetypal figures set within distressed landscapes embody ecological trauma, while historical text and imagery woven into my artwork function as cultural artifacts that document the roots of today’s environmental crises.
Through a layered visual language and interdisciplinary approach, my work explores humanity’s complex relationship with the natural world, in critical consideration of the urgent ecological challenges confronting all living beings.
